  1. Dunno ... .... seems fishy to me, Ginsberg! Great thread Charlie! That Ghosts at the top of page 2 would have 5 takers at $500 if it were 20 years older...Cover is ripped right outta pre-code and Invaders annual 1; Schomburg's last work; and its the Timely heroes GLWTS!
  2. Welcome to the boards, Doc. Great story! For you and all the boardies in this thread who shared their tales of those few totemic items that keep cherished memories alive, I share this song.
  3. I think its ok to pull your offer prior to getting a response; if so do it as quickly as possible. But its not ok to pull it and lower your offer; not worth the relationship to see how it plays out. Just walk from these at that point. (Only revisit if they sit forever, especially if they come back to you. And then fully explain why you pulled and walked -- you got excited, offered too much, etc but did not want to offend them with a lower offer immediately after pulling your initial one, etc....If they are in fact overpriced and this happens to play out that they sit for this reason, hopefully they will appreciate how you approached them at the time that they thought the higher price was the right price.) But if they accept before you get a chance to pull your offer, you should honor your offer, IMO.
  4. Goes off at 6 pm EST today, Oct 30. Still 27 of 30 lots have no bids, so lots of books to be had on the cheap.
  5. 1st editions of early Classic Comics had next issue ads for back covers. Here's a couple:
  6. Great-looking copy of a book that almost never turns up! Is the centerfold intact too? Mine isn't...
  7. Oh yeah!?!?! Well, that's how I misread it, and I'm NOT stickin' to it then!
  8. Well done but not accurate as ASM #5 is not also Spider-Man's sixth appearance, only Doom's. It's at best seventh for Spidey as Strange Tales annual #2 (Spidey vs Torch) was out around the same time as ASM #3.
  9. https://hibid.com/catalog/242724/october-30th-comic-book-auction/ My friend's auction house, a few lots (not all) are mine. Comics-only auction; 30 lots. Enjoy!
  10. Here's the defect Description from the Wolverine #35 thread
  11. Just click the eBay link in Telerites' post above. The guy has 11 books up currently; surely you can reach out via "contact seller" on there, though ebay does frown on any communication geared toward connecting outside of eBay.
  12. Legends of the Dark Knight #161 pg 20, David Lopez inked by Dan Green. The unusual layout struck me.
  13. Is a mention even a cameo? Either way, it'd be nice to see the corrected notation for #58 for historical purposes.
  14. Thank you; I couldn't voodoo the search function into turning up my past post!
  15. She's not pictured in GS Conan 1 at all. There is a dream sequence in which Conan recounts women who have been In his life. Her name (and Valeria's) sees print as a Conan musing, but the woman in the panel is a blonde, most likely Valeria. I sold the dang book and can't find my old post of the image but it's on here somewhere
  16. Yes, including first Lee/Kirby collaboration.
  17. Very cool thing to do @SOTIcollector. I'm only not playing because I have a copy, but I know what I'd suggest. (It's one of the ones someone has suggested.) Curious to see which way you go! Gang, it's a cool tome and the winner will be happy!
  18. I completely agree with @jimjum12's take above; thank you! I have two tangentially related questions: 1) There are many niche Golden Age reprints from the Copper era, as well as Marvel GA reprints of Timelys, etc that would be of far more interest to GSB collectors than copper/modern. Can these be offered in a GSB thread? 2) Is it ok to offer post-1984 comics as freebies in one's GSB thread? (And vice versa for copper/modern, I suppose, though I can't quite see anyone offering Golden Age freebies in a copper thread, but who knows?? ) I'm sure I have done both in the past, thinking it was in the spirit of the GSB section. But I wanted to ask in light of the new clarification. Thank you!
